He was educated at Trinity College, University of Cambridge (BA 1849, MA 1854). He married Florence Annie de Arroyave (died 1897) in 1863.[2] They were resident at Poynter's Grove, Totteridge.

Puget and his wife are remembered in a stained-glass window by Kempe in the north wall of St Andrew's church, Totteridge, that depicts St Alban, patron saint of the diocese, and St Andrew.[3]
